Barcode DLL
This section describes the installation of our Barcode DLL and also outlines the required changes in your SAP R/3 system.
2.2.1 Licensed Version

If you download the Barcode DLL from the Internet at http://www.e-bizco.com, you will get a single executable BC32.EXE that contains the compressed installation set. Simply execute this program from your explorer to unpack the installation set. Executing BC32.EXE will result in the files SETUP.EXE, BARCODE.DL_, BARTEST.EX_ and BARCODE.DAT as well as this MANUAL.PDF. If you received a CD-ROM, these files can be found on the disk. The required license key will be sent to you as email, by fax or on floppy disk. Please save the email as LICENCE.KEY in the same directory where you have the unpacked installation files or place it on floppy disk as A:\LICENCE.KEY. Please see section 3.2.22 for activation of an Online Activation Key, which consists of approx. 15 characters starting with LC. To install the Barcode DLL to your system, please run the supplied program SETUP.EXE from the installation set. Windows Server 2008 / Vista or newer: Please use right-click Run as Administrator even if your account has Administrator privileges. To install a licensed version, the license disk should be inserted to your diskette drive or the file LICENCE.KEY has to be just beside of the installation set. If this file is found at the start of SETUP.EXE, the license string is read form this file. If you have received the license key by fax, you may enter this string manually into the field license key. The destination directory for the Barcode DLL is set to the windows system directory. This default should normally not be changed. BARCODE.DLL and BARCODE.DAT will be installed into this directory. These files are later used by SAPLPD to actually print the barcodes. The destination for the barcode test utility BARTEST.EXE is found in the last input field.

2.2.4 Upgrade from BARCODE to BARCODE PLUS DLL

To upgrade from a licensed classic barcode version to a licensed barcode plus version, you must obtain a license key for the barcode plus version from e-bizco.com GmbH. You may download the most recent version the Barcode DLL from the Internet at http://www.e-bizco.com. It is the same executable as for the demo or classic barcode version, so if you already have downloaded the actual demo version, you can go ahead with this one. You will get a single executable BC32.EXE that contains the compressed installation set. Simply execute this program from your explorer to unpack the installation set. Executing BC32.EXE will result in the files SETUP.EXE, BARCODE.DL_, BARTEST.EX_ and BARCODE.DAT as well as this MANUAL.PDF. If you have received a CD-ROM, these files can be found on the disk. The required license key will be sent to you as email, by fax or on CD-ROM. Please save the email as LICENCE.KEY in the same directory where you have the unpacked installation files or place it on floppy disk as A:\LICENCE.KEY. Before upgrade, please make sure that any copy the demo BARCODE.DLL and BARCODE.DAT are removed from system! To update the Barcode DLL to your system, please run the supplied program SETUP.EXE from the installation set. Windows Server 2008 / Vista or newer: Please use right-click Run as Administrator even if your account has Administrator privileges.
To install a licensed version, the license disk should be inserted to your diskette drive or the file LICENCE.KEY has to be just beside of the installation set. If this file is found at the start of SETUP.EXE, the license string is read form this file. If you have received the license key by fax, you may enter this string manually into the field license key. The destination directory for the Barcode DLL is set to the windows system directory. This default should normally not be changed. BARCODE.DLL also BARCODE.DAT will be installed into this directory. These files are later used by SAPLPD to actually print the barcodes. The destination for the barcode test utility BARTEST.EXE is found in the last input field.
2.2.5 Using an Online Activation Key

Starting with version 3.6.5, the license key can be obtained online with an Online Activation Key. An Online Activation Key is a string of letters and digits, starting with the letters LC. Your will receive this activation key by email, fax or as a sticker on your CD. The Online Activation Key does not replace the existing licensing mechanism based on the license key file LICENCE.KEY. It is just another way to obtain this key file. If your computer does not have direct online access: Please visit http://www.e-bizco.com/activate.htm from a computer with online access. You can activate your license there and transfer the resulting LICENCE.KEY file to your local computer. If your computer has direct online access: Please run the program Setup.exe to begin the installation. After the license acceptance, you will be prompted for the license key. On the right side is a button Enter Activation Key.
Page 8
This will lead to the Enter Online Activation Key Dialog:
If you have purchased one or more site licenses, the activation process will check for active site licenses. On the next screen, the setup will present a list of already activated deployment locations. If your deployment location does match one location from the list then you can select it with a double click. The setup will then download the LICENCE.KEY file for this deployment location. For a 3 site license this screen may look like this one:
Page 9
If you want to install the Barcode DLL on a location that is not listed, then click on the continue button.
Please provide us correct data here. We will clean up any activation record with fake data. This will result in a loss of your license. We will also provide support only for licenses with complete activation including correct address.
Page 10
If you enter your contact data here, we will keep this data strictly confidential and only contact you for severe issues. Please save the license key as LICENCE.KEY to a safe place. If possible, the file LICENCE.KEY should also be copied to the same directory, where your Setup.exe is. When you start the setup.exe again, the license will already be present. The next step will bring you back to the main setup screen:
Page 11
2.2.6 Installing a newer version of BARCODE.DLL or BARCODE PLUS DLL

Any license obtained from e-bizco.com GmbH entitles you to use newer versions of the Barcode DLL respective Barcode PLUS DLL released up to six month after the issue date of the license. To use this update feature, please download the newer version of barcode demo from http://www.ebizco.com and proceed as described under upgrading from demo to licensed version. To be eligible for upgrading, the new Barcode DLL MUST be released within six month after the issue date of your license or you will get an error message when installing a version that was released after that date. If you have purchased a license for Barcode DLL or Barcode PLUS DLL with maintenance contract, you may install any covered newer version of the Barcode.DLL respective Barcode PLUS DLL.
2.3
SAPLPD
SAPLPD does not need any special configuration. It is already aware of our Barcode DLL and will use it after the next restart. You will see our copyright notice in the SAPLPD log file. For more information about SAPLPD, please have a look at the SAP documentation.
2.4
SAPSprint
SAPSprint does not need any special configuration. It is already aware of our Barcode DLL and will use it after the next restart. Please note that SAPSprint may be used with print method U (Berkeley protocol) and S (SAP). Both protocols can use our Barcode DLL. For more information about SAPSprint, please have a look at the SAP documentation.
2.5
Device type
The device type describes the capabilities of a printer type and how to interact with it. To get most use out of SAPLPDs windows interface, you use device type SWIN (when available) or SAPWIN for the older versions. Current SAP versions are aware of our Barcode DLL. You can use the device type SWIN as it is. The Barcode DLL is controlled via print controls. These are the only items that may need to be changed. For details, please see section 3.4 If you do modify the barcode related print controls, please copy the device type SWIN / SAPWIN before doing any modifications. Use a name like ZSAPWIN for your version.
2.6
Define your print controls

Current SAP versions are aware of our Barcode DLL. You can use the print controls defined for device type SWIN.
Page 12
If you are using an older SAP version, you need to define the required barcode print controls. You might want to use the copy of SAPWIN to add your barcode print controls. For details, please see section 3.4
2.7
Setup your printer
2.7.1 Named printer

The Barcode DLL is called from SAPLPD. This requires you to use the printer types SWIN / SAPWIN / ZSAPWIN. SAPLPD will call our Barcode DLL only, if you are using print method S.
2.7.2 Front end printer

The Barcode DLL is called from SAPLPD. This requires you to use the printer types SWIN / SAPWIN / ZSAPWIN. SAPLPD will call our Barcode DLL only, if you are using print method F. The printer name has to be __DEFAULT (underscore underscore DEFAULT) or %DEFAULT%. SAPGUI has to be version 3.1G or better. SAPLPD on the front end has to be version 2.42 or better. For details please see the SAP BC print manual. Current SAP releases also support the print method G. This meth od establishes a direct connection to the SAPGUI without usage of SAPLPD. Our Barcode DLL also supports this print method. If your SAP release does support print method G, we highly recommend this option.
2.8
Suitable printing processes

In principle every fully supported windows printer can be used for barcode printing. But the quality of the resulting printouts will differ depending of the used printing process. The commonly used printing techniques generate the output composed of individual dots. Finer and more precise positioning of the dots will increase the quality of the resulting barcode, as increased contrast will do.
2.9
Laser printer
Most laser printer are well suited to print high quality barcodes.
2.10 Inkjets
Inkjets can be used to print barcodes if suitable paper is used. The ink should not spread over the paper.
2.11 Impact printers

Impact printers, mostly dot matrix printers, should not be used to print barcodes with more than two different bar sizes (code 39 for example). If it is indispensable to print such codes, you will have to calibrate the size of the printed bars for your printer. Make sure to use quality ribbons and change them regular. Worn out ribbons will result in errors in the barcode detection.

3 Printing barcodes from the SAP system

3.1 Requirements
The barcode DLL requires Windows 95, 98, NT, ME or Windows 2000/XP/2003. Windows 3.1 is no longer supported. The barcode DLL extends other programs but does not execute standalone. When printing barcodes from the SAP system you need the SAP program SAPLPD version 2.17 or above and SAP Release 2.1A or above. You have to send the data to the SAPLPD using the SAP device type SAPWIN.
3.2
Parameters
When printing barcodes from the SAP system, barcode data and parameters are embedded in the 1 data stream sent from the SAP system. The sequence <Escape>b% indicates the beginning of a 2 barcode. All following data is sent to the barcode DLL until the terminating <Escape> is reached. This is part of the SAPLPD protocol and only noted as information for you. The data sent to the barcode DLL consists of some parameters and the data itself. The parameters determine the properties of the printed barcode. Parameters are structured all equal. They are distinguished by a key letter, followed by an equal sign and terminated by a comma. The associated value is between the equal sign and the comma.

e-bizco.com GmbH Copyright 1994 - 2012 3.2.3 Width (B)
Page 17
With the parameter B=<Number> the required width of the barcode is selected. The width is measured in millimeters. From Version 2.1, the number may be followed by mm, mil or px to specify millimeters, milli inch or pixel. The really printed width of the barcode might vary slightly as all bars and gaps should have the same width. Make sure that each bar and gap are printed with at least some dots. It makes no sense to print a 10-digit barcode with a width of 1 millimeter. If no width is specified or the specified width is zero, the width of the bars and gaps is taken from the parameters Sx and Px. They are interpreted as absolute number of dots in this case. The width of a dot depends on the selected printing resolution of the printer. A typical value for current printers is 300 dots per inch. So, if the sum of all bars and gaps gives a value of 300, the resulting barcode will have a width of one inch. Please note, that complex barcodes will not always allow specifying an absolute width.
3.2.4 Height (H)

With H=<number> the height of the barcode is specified in millimeters. If a positive number is used, the barcode will have its lower left corner at the current cursor of SAPLPD. If a negative number is used, the barcode will have its upper left corner at the current cursor of SAPLPD. Using a negative height together with rotation of the barcode will produce an undefined result.
3.2.5 Checksum (P)

P=1 selects the automatic generation of a checksum for the barcode if this feature is defined for the selected barcode. With P=0 no checksum is generated. No all barcodes can be controlled by this parameter. Some barcodes do not support checksums, some barcodes require some form of checksum.
3.2.6 Caption (A)

With A=0 caption is suppressed. With A=1 barcodes are printed with caption using the default height 5 millimeter (backward compatibility with versions prior to 2.0.4). Values larger than 1 enable the annotation and specify the size of the annotation. The size is specified in millimeter. Most 2D barcodes like PDF 417 and Data Matrix do not support annotation.
3.2.7 Blank Removal (KB)

With KB=0 blank removal is suppressed. With KB=2 or KB=3 barcodes are printed without leading blanks, newlines or tabs. With KB=1 or KB=3 barcodes are printed without trailing blanks, newlines or tabs. The default value is 3. The option KB also controls the removal of leading and trailing '*' characters for Code 39. These characters represent the start and stop charecters of Code 39. Some customers wnat to include these characters in the barcode data.
Page 18
3.2.8 Horizontal and vertical Position (X,Y)

Parameters X and Y give control over the positioning of the barcode on the current page of the th th SAPLPD output. The position is specified in millimeters (1/1000 of a meter), milli inch (1/1000 of an inch) or pixels from the top left corner. To specify millimeter, append mm to the number, mil for milli inch or px for pixel. A number only is defaulted to millimeters. When the parameter is not specified at all, the barcode is printed at the current cursor of the SAPLPD. ( Version 2.0.7 or older only supports millimeters). Please see parameter "I" for "px" values. The position value can be prefixed with + or for relative positioning.
3.2.9 Width of bars and gaps (S1)

Parameter S1 defines the width of the smallest bar. The ratio between the size of the smallest and the next smallest bar is defined by the parameter RA (expressed as ten times the real ratio). A value of 20 defines a ratio of 2:1, a value of 25 a ratio of 2.5:1 and 30 a ratio of 3:1. For backward compatibility, the ration will be computed from S2:S1 if both values are supplied but no RA is given. By default, the size of the bars will also be used as size of the gaps. To add some space between the bars, you can define the parameter ADS. A given value of 1 will result in a one-dot wider gap between the bars and so on. For backward compatibility, the value for ADS will be computed from given values for S1 and L1 if no ADS is given. Please see parameter I .
3.2.10 Width of bars and gaps scaling (I)

Parameter I can be used to make the S1 value printer resolution independent. The S1, S2, L1, ADB and ADS are interpreted relative to this printer resolution. The option has a default value of 600. A value of 0 disables this function. This parameter will not affect the barcode if an absolute barcode width is specified (parameter B). The parameter I is new with version 4.1. The values of parameter X and Y are also scaled when a pixel value is specified.

3.2.15 Annotation Font (AF)

The parameter AF specifies the barcode annotation font name. Any installed Windows true type font can be used. The maximal font name length is 31. The default value is Arial.
3.2.16 Conversion of national character sets (UML)

Parameter UML controls the conversion of German Umlaute to their matching 7 bit ASCII characters. If UML is set to 1, these conversions are performed:
Character

Hexcode
C4 D6 DC E4 F6 FC DF
Used ASCII
[ \ ] { | } ~
Hexcode
5B 5C 5D 7B 7C 7D 7E
This feature requires the cooperation of your barcode reader to convert these special characters back to the wanted system codes. This option can be used with these barcodes:
Code 39, Code 39 Extended Code 93, Code 93 Extended Code 128, EAN 128, UCC 128 (not subset C)
Page 22
3.2.17 Encoding of control characters (CCC) Some barcodes like Code 128 and Code 39 Extended allow control characters. It is sometimes a little difficult to encode these characters in SAP. As an alternative, our Barcode DLL allows a more SAP friendly notation. This notation must be enabled in the print control with CCC=1.
Encoding
\t
Meaning
Tabulator character (hex 09).
\r
Carriage return (hex 0D).
\n
Newline (Hex 0A).
\xnn
Generic hex notation. The two digits nn are treated as hex value.

3.2.18 Code 128 / EAN 128 Parameters
Parameter
F1
Meaning
FNC1 placeholder A sequence of up to 7 characters. Each occurrence of the sequence in the data for Code 128 (EAN 128) is replaced with the special FNC1 symbol.
F2
FNC2 placeholder Analog FNC1.
F3
F4
SH
SHIFT placeholder Analog FNC1.
FNC1 is used to start code EAN128. It also signals special information inside EAN128. FNC2 signals multi reading. FNC3 and FNC4 are reserved for applications. SHIFT switches from Subset A to B or vice versa for the next character. Using Subset C, only FNC1 is available. For details, please refer to the EAN 128 specification. If you do not use these parameters, the special characters are coded as follows: SHIFT FNC1 FNC2 FNC3 FNC4 Decimal 128 (Hex 80) Decimal 129 (Hex 81) Decimal 130 (Hex 82) Decimal 131 (Hex 83) Decimal 132 (Hex 84)

3.2.19 QR Code Parameters5

Parameter
QRE QRV QRS QRF QRK
Meaning
Encoding for QR Code ( AUTO, ALPHA, BYTE, NUMERIC, KANJI ) (AUTO is default) Format for QR Code ( 0, 1, 2, , 40 ) ( 0=AUTO is default) Security level for QR Code ( L, M, Q, H ) (L is default) FNC1 indicator ( 0, 1 ) (0 is default) Enable two byte Kanji data on input stream. ( 0, 1 ) (1 is default)
QR Code has optimization strategies for various code set that are typically used in the industry. If you leave the QRE parameter on AUTO, the advanced optimizer will find out the shortest possible encoding. Double byte kanji characters ( range 0x8140 to 0x9FFC and 0xE040 to 0xEAA4 ) will be detected on the input stream if QRK is set to 1. Alphanumeric characters are 0-9, A-Z (upper case only), Space, $, %, +, -, *, /, . and :. The security level specifies how much redundant data is appended to the raw data. The redundancy enables the barcode reader to correctly decode the barcode if parts of the code are missing or otherwise unreadable. Level L allows a recovery of about 7% missing dots, M 15%, Q 25% and H 30%. Increasing the security level reduces the data capacity or increases the barcode size. In QR Code, an FNC1 identifier can be included for UCC/EAN Application Identifiers. If FNC1 is set to 1, an FNC1 is assumed before the first data byte. Additional FNC1s are represented by the character %. QR Code supports 40 different code formats that have different encoding capacities. Format 1 with a low security level holds about 17 bytes, 25 alphanumeric characters or 41 digits. Format 40 at a low security level holds about 2953 bytes, 4296 alphanumeric characters or 7089 digits.

Create your own device type

To use the barcode DLL you have to copy the SAP device type SWIN or SAPWIN. This is the only base type for adding barcode information. Barcode DLL will not work with other device types because they do not use the appropriate SAPLPD interface. This is a restriction in SAPLPD. We cannot do anything about this. Copy the device type SWIN (SAPWIN) to a new device type. The name shall begin with ZSWIN (ZSAPWI). You can do this from within the transaction SPAD. Use the menu entry Utilities/copy device type.
3.4
Adding necessary print controls ( SAP Release 4.6 and newer )

Printing of barcodes is requested by a control code sent to the SAPLPD. This control code is known 7 to be <Escape>b% . Control codes to a printing device are generated through print controls. They have a five-letter name. You call these print controls from your ABAP program or from SAPscript. Print controls are translated into data sent to the printing device, in our case the SAPLPD. SAPLPD recognizes <Escape>b% and sends the following data until the terminating <Escape> to the barcode DLL. So when you define your print controls, they have to start with <Escape>b% and continue with the barcode parameters. The last parameter should be D= to start with the raw barcode data. The terminating Escape should be generated by a separate print control. Here an example:
Print control
BC25I ESCAP SUFFX
Type
Extended Direct Direct
Hex
No Yes No
Value
b%C=25I,B=50,H=20,P=1,D= 1B
When calling the print control BC25I, you will get a barcode of type 2 of 5 interleave, width 50 mm, height 20 mm with checksum. The print control is followed by your data. To terminate the barcode, you add the print control ESCAP to your program. Please make sure that your print controls are defined exactly as shown above. Please note the lowercase letter b as the first character of the print control BC25I.
3.5
Adding necessary print controls ( SAP Release before 4.6 )

Printing of barcodes is requested by a control code sent to the SAPLPD. This control code is known 8 to be <Escape>b% . Control codes to a printing device are generated through print controls. They have a five-letter name. You call these print controls from your ABAP program or from SAPscript. Print controls are translated into data sent to the printing device, in our case the SAPLPD. SAPLPD recognizes <Escape>b% and sends the following data until the terminating <Escape> to the barcode DLL. So when you define your print controls, they have to start with <Escape>b% and continue with the barcode parameters. The last parameter should be D= to start with the raw barcode data. The terminating Escape should be generated by a separate print control. Here an example:
7 8
Hex: 1B 62 25; the old SAPLPD sequence 1B 62 is no longer recommended. Hex: 1B 62 25; the old SAPLPD sequence 1B 62 is no longer recommended.

When calling the print control BC25I, you will get a barcode of type 2 of 5 interleave, width 50 mm, height 20 mm with checksum. The print control is followed by your data. To terminate the barcode, you add the print control ESCAP to your program. Please make sure that your print controls are defined exactly as shown above. Please note the lowercase letter b as the first character of the print control BC25I.
3.6
Customizing your printer definition

Printers that print barcode need to use your newly created device type. Make sure to set the device type right in the transaction SPAD to the output device. The print method has to be S for proper usage of SAPLPD. Further details can be found in the SAP documentation.
3.7
A small test program

Here a small test program to print barcodes from a ABAP program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 REPORT TEST1. NEW-PAGE PRINT ON NO-HEADING. WRITE: / Test Barcode.. FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF. WRITE: / Start Barcode:. PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION BC25I. WRITE: 1234567890 NO-GAP. PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION ESCAP. WRITE: NO-GAP. required from 2.1G WRITE: / Continue here.
Explanations: Line 5) Format Color Off Intensified off is necessary on some SAP systems as the list processor otherwise inserts print controls by its own that disturb the barcode output. If you see some strange characters in your barcode or the following SAPLPD output is corrupted, you should check the spool job with the hex display from transaction SP01. If you find unintended print controls between your print controls (e.g. between BC25I and ESCAP, line 7 and 9) please call SAP to find out the reason for it. Line 7) Start of barcode printing. The used name BC25I is the name of the print control. Line 8) Here we print the raw data for the barcode. Please note the NO-GAP at the end of the write to suppress trailing blanks. Line 9) Barcode termination.
e-bizco.com GmbH Copyright 1994 - 2012 3.8 System barcodes
Page 30
First you have to define your barcode type or to choose a predefined barcode type. You can use the transaction SE73 to create your own barcode type.
3.9
Printer barcodes
To print barcodes from SAPscript, it is necessary to define two print controls in your newly created device type (e.g. ZSAPWIN). The first print control is sent from SAPscript to introduce the barcode, the second one to terminate the barcode. You can use the same print controls as for printing from the ABAP list processor. The second print control will be ESCAP, which can be called directly. Some versions of SAPscript complain about the name but accept it nevertheless. As an alternative you may define your own group of print controls for printing from SAPscript. This may look like the following:
Print control
ZB25I ZBC39 ZBEND ESCAP SUFFX
Type
5 5 5 1 1
Hex
Def
Value
b%C=25I,B=50,H=20,P=1,D= b%C=39,B=50,H=20,P=0,D=
1B
In SAPscript you use the print controls ZB25I or ZBC39 as starting code, ZBEND as stop code for all barcodes. Please note that all print controls of a single group (defined by the first two letters of the name) have to have the same type code (here 5). ZBEND will be evaluated as <Escape> if everything is defined as described above.
3.10 Using long commands

The SAP system has two known limitations that restrict the barcode command: A print control can only contain maximal 56 characters. This will limit the length of the control part of the command. SAPScript and the ABAP processor will wrap long lines. This will truncate the data portion of the print control.
When using the (hex) 1B 62 25 sequence to start a barcode, SAPLPD will allow you to combine several print controls and data lines into one barcode command. Each barcode sequence ending with &+ConT+& will be concatenated to the next sequence beginning with &. The combined sequence will be sent to the Barcode DLL for encoding. Here an example to print a lot of data with data matrix:
Page 31
Print control
BCDMA BCCON ESCAP ESCON
Type
5 5 1 1
Hex
Value
b%C=DM,DME=AUTO,DMF=AUTO,D=&& b%& \e

This sequence of print controls will do the job: <BCDMA>some data 1<ESCON> <BCCON>some more data 2<ESCON> <BCCON>some more data 3<ESCON> <BCCON>final data<ESCAP> The four parts of the barcode command will be combined and sent to the barcode dll as one command ( <ESC> is hex 1B ): <ESC>b%C=DM, DME=AUTO, DMF=AUTO, D=some data 1 some more data 2 some more data 3 final data <ESC> Please make sure to match each print control ESCON with a BCCON. Only the last part is terminated with a single <ESC>. Make sure, that your data does not end with &+ConT+&.
3.11 Long Commands with MaxiCode

The Barcode DLL does support MaxiCode creation. The most convenient way is to specify the individual components and let the Barcode DLL combine them to a valid MaxiCode. Please see chapter 3.2.22 for a complete list of components. When using SapScript, the following form snippet can be used to create the maxi code:
Page 32
The print controls are defined: SBP97 ESCON BCCON SBS01 b%C=MC,S1=6, &+ConT+&\e b%& \e (Extended, Converted) (Direct, Converted) (Extended, Converted) (Direct, Converted)
3.12 Errormessages
When errors occur while printing a barcode, the resulting error message will be printed instead. This feature can be turned off by adding PrintError=0 in the barcode.ini. The error message will also be passed back to the SAPLPD and included into the SAPLPD log file. If the barcode log file is enabled, the error message will also be included in the barcode log.

4.1.2 Create Printer Barcode

The printer barcodes describes the necessary actions for a given printer type. If you have not created your own device type, its now time to do it. ( Transaction SPAD, copy SWIN to ZSWIN ). Your device type needs to base on the type SWIN. We recommend to name it ZSWINxxx ( xxx=001 or whatever you like). Start Transaction SE73. Select Printer Bar Codes, press Change, double click on your device type.
Choose a free prefix from the list, e.g. SBP98 and remember the common suffix, usually SBS01. Press Create.
Page 35
Select your newly created system barcode (ZDATAMTX) and fill the prefix and suffix fields. The prefix and suffix will be the names of the used print controls to create the barcode. Press Execute. If you get this warning :
Select New Entry and continue.
Now we need to fill the new print control:
Page 36
Select your prefix ( e.g. SBP98) and press Maint. Print Control.
Turn off the Hex switch ( fill with blank).
Page 37
If you use Variant 1, you need to start the Control Char. Seq with \eb% , Variant 5 starts with b% only. The control sequence for our Barcode DLL can be obtained from our BARTEST.EXE, which is part of the distribution. You can create the sequence from the manual too.
4.2
Create a simple Barcode Test with SmartForms
4.2.1 Used Barcode

To include a barcode type into SmartForm, you need to make sure that this is a defined System Barcode ( Transaction SE73 ) and that a correct print control is defined for each target device types.
4.2.2 Used Style

Make sure to have an appropriate style at hand. For testing, you might want to copy the style SYSTEM to a local Z_TEST1 using Transaction SMARTFORMS.
Page 38
Right click on Character Formats and choose Create Node. Select a short name for the format, e.g. BA, B1 or DM (this example).
Choose the System Barcode in the lower section (ZDATAMTX) and fill the description field. Save and ACTIVATE. You now have a style where you can use your new barcode.

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 BARCODE DLL is not used
Please make sure that the file BARCODE.DLL is copied into the directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 , C:\WINDOWS or the SAPLPD directory. SAPLPD shows the init message from our Barcode DLL at startup time. This message indicates that the DLL is found.
5.2
The wrong barcode is printed

Please check the data sent to the SAPLPD using SAP transaction SP01. Display the contents of your spool job using the hexadecimal display. Check that the right print controls are used and that no spaces or unintended print control are insert by the SAP system as it happens sometimes. If his happens please contact SAP.
5.3
Bars are to wide

Some impact printers produce dots, which are much wider as assumed. You may check this with a good magnifier. You may reduce the bar width using parameters S1 to S4.
5.4
Barcodes are not read properly

Most frequent reasons are used up ribbons or toner. Please refill these first. Try to print your barcode without specifying a width (using B=0). If this solves your problem try to use the barcode without explicit width or with a larger width. Is the barcode reader OK?
5.5
Unwanted characters printed with the barcode

Please check the data inside the R/3 Spool (function HEX display). Make sure, that there is no extra print control between the print control for barcode start and barcode end. If you see any unwanted print control between them, please check with SAP how to suppress them. We cannot help you with that problem, as it is an R/3 internal problem. With these extra print controls we will receive wrong data from SAPLPD.

6 New features / change history

Version 4.2.6 New parameters AP, AS and AF to change the barcode annotation. Version 4.2.4 Bugfix: Linear barcodes with minimal bar width (S1=1) generation error. Version 4.2.3 Bugfix: Datamatrix code generation error when using C40 mode. Version 4.2 Support for Windows 7. Version 4.1.5 Code 39: Ignore leading and trailing '*' characters. Version 4.1.4 Include checksum in barcode "ITF-14" annotation. Version 4.1.3 New barcode "ITF-14", a variant of 2 of 5 interleave. Version 4.1.2 Datamatrix occasionally had encoding errors when changing the encoding schema in auto mode. Version 4.1.1 Additional AID for code EAN128 (annotation only). Version 4.1 a) Vista start problem fixed. b) New parameter I: printer independent pixel width. ** Please read before upgrading ** Most printer drivers use a common 600 dpi resolution, even if the physical resolution is higher. In order to avoid problems with a mix of 600 dpi and non 600 dpi printers, all pixel values in the parameters are scaled to a common dpi value. By default, all parameters now refer to a 600 dpi model. The common printer resolution can be changed using the sap print control parameter I=, a value of 0 disables this new functionality. This change affects the parameters S1, ADB, ADS, X and Y. S2 and L1 are also affected if the old notation is still used.
Page 44
The absolute bar width parameters (S1, S2, L1, ADB, ADS) are now referring to the common printer resolution (600 dpi). The change has no effect if the total barcode width is specified ( B=). The barcode positioning parameters (X and Y ) are now referring to the common printer resolution (600 dpi) when the unit "px" is used. This option can also be set from the barcode.ini file: Create or insert into the C:\Windows\Barcode.ini file: [BarCode] I=0 # (Upper case letter i with value = 0 to disable or set common printer DPI, e.g 300 or 600 ) Priv=1 Version 4.0.6 Installation program improved. Version 4.0.5 Minor changes to the demo version ( 500-1 message fixed ). Version 4.0.4 Changes for SAPSprint Version 1.0.0.8. (Note: DLL version 4.0.3 does only work with SAPSprint 1.0.0.4 or older and with SAPLPD). Version 4.0.3 Minor fix: Setup spurious license install problem. Version 4.0.2 SAPSprint support added. Version 3.7.1 Bugfix: QR-Code symbol generation error fixed. Version 3.7 Bugfix: SAPScript text size was sometimes influencing barcode positioning. This bugfix might affect existing forms that have taken positioning problems into account. Version 3.6.8 Bugfix: Barcode command concatenation could cause a segmentation violation in SAPLPD. Know bug: QR Code does not work with Windows NT4. Version 3.6.7 Bugfix for Maxicode use with SAPScript. Version 3.6.6
Page 45
QR Code implemented ( "plus" / 2D license required). Maxicode is now part of the plus license. Version 3.6.5 Online activation of special license types. This procedure does not apply for regualar licenses that are shipped as LICENCE.KEY license file. Version 3.6.4 New parameter d= allows missing data without error message. The barcode will be silently missing without data. Version 3.6.3 Resource leak fixed. This leak exists in Version 3.0 3.6.2. The leak can lead to program termination or missing barcodes. Update to Version 3.6.3 is strongly recommended. Version 3.6 Verified for Windows Server 2003 by Microsoft / Verisign. Modified handling of leading and trailing white spaces. Leading and trailing white spaces ( blank, newline, tab ) are removed by default. See parameter KB for details. Version 3.5 New setup. Internal rewrite to increase encoding speed. Version 3.0.5 Code MSIPlessey: P parameter changed to reflect SAP SWIN devicetype: P=0: Single MOD10 checksum (SAP implies no checksum, but this is not possible with this barcode) P=1: Single MOD10 checksum P=2: MOD10, MOD10 checksum P=3: MOD11, MOD10 checksum Version 3.0 Added Documentation for SAPscript and SmartForms. The file barcode.dat will be installed beside barcode.dll. It contains configuration data for the barcode dll.
